Kariega - Elephants Galore!
The second part of our Saturday afternoon drive involved tracking elephants. We followed them up a hill and on to their favourite waterhole, Eventually there were around 30 elephants in the group, including some little ones who stole the show!
The sandy colour is from the dusting of soil they use to get rid of insects and as a sunscreen.
It is amazing just how easily elephants can disappear into the bush !
A bit of an argument over feeding rights
Dispute over!
Friends again!
Some more crossing the track
Further up the hill the herd head for a waterhole
This is how close elephants came past our vehicle !
At last - water!
Soon there is a constant stream of elephants
Baby prefers milk to water !
Blowing bubbles is fun !
So is swishing your trunk !
Come on in the water is lovely !
Don't you dare !
Another confrontation
One group departs
Bath time !
Splish Splash, I was taking a bath !
A few more giraffes in the darkening gloom
